Five questions for Jess Krawczyk

Yes. I just read “The Kept” by James Scott. It’s a really dark psychological thriller. It’s set in upstate New York by the lakes and follows a woman, accompanied by her 12-year-old son, who tries to discover who killed the rest of her family while she was away on a midwife journey. It’s got a very dark ending.

2 Is James Scott coming to Saratoga?

Yes. He’ll be giving a free presentation about the book here at Northshire at 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 22. He’s an alum of Yaddo.

3 What are your favorite winter-time hobbies?

I like to play in the snow ‒ snowboarding, snowmobiling; plus reading when it’s too cold out.

4 Do you get tired of winter?

No. I’m from Vermont, so you’ve got to love it.

5 What brought you to Saratoga?

It was a job-related move. I used to work at Northshire’s store in Manchester, Vt. Being assistant manager here is a step up for me. It’s a great opportunity. Plus, I love Saratoga. I can walk to wherever I want to go. It’s a young town. There’s always something to do.
